    He giveth with one hand and take with the other....

    Just got a £300 bonus so sorted for Christmas and was thinking about putting a deposit down for a holiday next year, but then, the freezer packs up this week so I am now £250 lighter and have a new fridge freezer coming on Wednesday.

    !!!!!! happens.....
  • Jim you could always wrap up warm and hide in the freezer and imagine you are on a trek in the Arctic? 0002045F.gif

    Seriously though, sorry about your freezer but sounds like you picked a good'un and I am sure it will be worth it.

    Bad luck Jim, but good-oh too. It's these things that require switch to siege mode thinking.
    Freezer was on way to packing up...it packed up...Jim at least has Chrimbo bonus to offset cost of new one AND £50 left over...not to mention certain tickies on ebay?

    Hope you did a cashback or some pointsy reward thaiinng also.

    There I was is sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large,
    trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.

    "Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.

    "Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying."

    "This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure.

    I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my old lady in bed with the gardener and then my dog bit me."

    "So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all,

    I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve;

    then you, you jack-!!!, show up and drink the whole thing! But enough about me,

    how's your day going?"
